Service provided by Nottingham Women’s Centre
Wraparound Support
Nottingham Women’s Centre also offers wraparound support to women. Over the years we’ve opened up shower facilities, a kitchen for women to cook in, and introduced access to a washing machine and dryer.
We ensure that shower gel and fresh towels are always available, providing moments of comfort and welcome. We also have a store of food and hygiene items, such as period products, that women can access in times of crisis.
Some of the women using our space in this way may be street homeless, while others might be “sofa surfing” to avoid burdening friends or family. Some lack access to hot water due to issues with prepayment electricity meters, and others live in shared accommodation where they may not feel safe using communal bathrooms.
We respect womens’ privacy and do not inquire about their circumstances – creating a ‘no questions asked’ space that they can walk into without fear of judgement.
Referral Information
You don’t need an appointment to visit the Centre. Women are welcome to come and use the facilities in the Centre, such as our Welcome Space and Library at anytime during our opening hours, which are Monday – Friday, 9am – 5pm.
Please ask at NWC Reception for shower, laundry, or kitchen facilities, which are free of charge.
